Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper and the club's much-criticised transfer business have been backed by former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan ahead of the East Midlands derby defeat to Leicester City.
In the build-up to Monday night's match, there was talk of it being a match where the losers will be parting ways with their managers in the aftermath. For Jordan, that talk is 'laughable' considering the circumstances at the City Ground this summer.
Unlike many a pundit this season, the broadcaster has acknowledged the "lack of resources" that the Reds had after securing promotion, which they had to supplement with what he describes as a "ridiculous galley of players". As a result, Jordan has sympathy for Cooper amid all of the speculation.
